Social entrepreneurship is essential to the Lebanese economy and plays a major role in creating and sustaining a better socio-economic environment. However, it needs a proper ecosystem to grow where social innovators can be mentored, financed, and supported. This is addressed and solved through Berytech’s Impact Rise program – Lebanon’s pioneer social entrepreneurship scale-up program launched in October 2019 and funded by MEPI.
Since then, Lebanon has been suffering from the biggest economic crisis. And after the disastrous Beirut Blast, many people have lost their jobs. Economic inflation is affecting businesses and decreasing the number of startups willing to invest in this country. With these circumstances, Impact Rise startups need guidance and support now more than ever to continue rising.
For this reason, Berytech is running this campaign to promote the seven startups, showcase their social impact, and entice people from Lebanon and abroad to help them either by becoming a client, an investor, a donor, or a partner.
